TRS STUDIOS IS A BEIRUT RECORDING STUDIO SPECIALIZING IN MUSIC PRODUCTION.

Designed by award winning acoustician Wes Lachot, TRS is a modern studio facility built from the ground up with incredible attention to detail. Please have a look around, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

STUDIO A

CONTROL ROOM

THE ROOM

The large comfortable control room is built around a 32-channel API 1608 analog console. A center gear rack houses our patch bays and is filled with the high-end boutique and classic outboard gear you would expect from a world-class studio.

MONITORS

Monitoring is provided by ATC SCM150ASL Pro Mains. Professionals choose the ATC monitors for their unparalleled accuracy, overall quality, and exceptional performance. ATC monitors are handmade in the U.K. using cutting-edge components and processes, and you'll immediately hear why they're considered one of the finest reference monitors in the world. As a second reference we have Amphion Two18 monitors powered by an Amphion amp500 amplifier. Clients are also welcome to bring in their own monitoring systems!

QUIET

The recording computer, console power supplies, and 1/2” Ampex tape machine are all isolated in our machine room to keep all of the machine and fan noise outside and the control room silent.

ACOUSTICS

Acoustically, the entire recording studio is built using room-within-a-room construction creating excellent isolation between the different spaces. The inside of the control room is treated with extensive bass trapping, absorption, diffusion, and angled walls to create an incredibly accurate listening environment.

AIR

A dedicated air system feeds the control room, supplying constant fresh air and keeping it at any temperature you like. In response to COVID-19 we have upgraded the filters in our HVAC system to MERV13 hospital-grade filters, and added portable IQAir HyperHEPA filters to our control room and tracking rooms.

COMFORT

There is a desk and large couch at the back of the room making the control room an incredibly comfortable place to work, even for larger groups. The studio is lit with Philips Hue lighting, so the tone and colour of all lighting can be customized to create the perfect mood for your session.

The studio features five more isolated rooms for tracking: a Live Room, two iso booths and two SoundLocks. The tracking rooms feature great sight lines, and all rooms are connected with speaker and instrument lines for flexible and creative setups.

STUDIO A

TRACKING ROOMS

LIVE ROOM

The Live Room is a truly unique recording environment with variable acoustics by RPG. The result is a balanced and open room sound that is ideal for recording. It has a custom designed ceiling cloud made of diffusion and absorption, helping to make the room sound even larger than it is. One of the walls feature real brick, two walls have six hinged acoustic panels that when closed offer a more bright lively sound, and when open, a more dry and controlled sound.

VOCAL BOOTH

The Vocal Booth looks into both the Live Room and Piano Room and as its name implies, is a great place to isolate vocalists.

SOUND LOCKS

The Sound Locks are an ideal place to isolate guitar or bass amplifiers while tracking with a live band. With ample instrument and speaker ties, you can be anywhere in the studio with your pedal board or amplifier head next to you, with your cabinet or combo amp isolated.

HEADPHONES

Headphones are controlled with a Mytek Private Q headphone system. This allows each musician to quickly dial in a personalized headphone mix so that they hear exactly what they need to perform their best.

INSTRUMENTS

There is also an assortment of vintage instruments and amplifiers included as part of the studio rental, including Roland keyboards, and guitar and bass amps from Fender, Vox, Marshall and Ampeg. We also have an inventory of in-house guitars, basses, drums, and cymbals – a list is available on our equipment page.

STUDIO B

THE ROOM

Streamlining efficiency and ingenuity, our "refined" Studio B is a hybrid studio designed to be at the heart of the solo artists creative process. Built with meticulous standards to capture the highest quality vocal production, Studio B is an ideal recording space for artists of all genres - including pop, hip hop, r&b, acoustic and even voiceovers - our engineers work smoothly and effectively to capture your best sound.

Designed to be flexible, Studio B caters to smaller productions that are in search of quality and value. Audiobooks, voice-over, music recording, multimedia production, mixing, mastering and video production – Studio B is up to the task.

MONITORS

Monitoring is provided by Amphion Two18 mid-field speakers. They feature an innovative integrated subwoofer design with dual opposing subwoofers keeping the monitor fixed in space to provide a rock solid image. Engineers find these speakers easy to learn and use. As a second reference we have KRK Rokit 5s near-field speakers. Clients are also welcome to bring in their own monitoring systems!
